2016 Arts & Culture Rally & Charm Trail, July 20

In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Coos Art Museum, the Museum is hosting the 2016 Arts & Culture Rally & Charm Trail. The southern Oregon coast is rich in local Arts & Culture. Join us for a fun adventure as you visit seven coastal communities and 51 participating Arts & Culture venues. Rally stops are a mix of boutique shops featuring local artisans’ works, museums and discovery centers and others stops that make the southern Oregon coast special. This is a great way to enjoy the Southern Oregon Coast, have an adventure, get inspired, find a one-of-a-kind souvenir, participate in a quest and experience local culture. The rally runs through December 31, 2016 so you have plenty of time to join in the fun and plan your visit to Coos Bay. Charm bracelets can be purchased at Coos Art Museum for $5 and include the 2016 year charm. Additional charms can be found at each stop on the map for $1.50 each. The rally includes venues from Reedsport to Bandon, and Charleston to Myrtle Point. Most communities are within a 35 minute drive from Coos Bay. All stops have copies of the rally map so you can begin at any point and travel in any order you prefer. The maps list all the venues by community and include hours of operation and contact information to assist in adventure planning. Participants that visit all 50 sites and get their map stamped can return to Coos Art Museum and get a prize.
